After graduating from J.J. Pearce High School, he attended Baylor University where he majored in Journalism and was editor of the Baylor Lariat campus newspaper. He began his professional career at the Waco Tribune-Herald and has written for newspapers, magazines, businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies.

Hampton's first novel, "Grandpa Jack," was published in 2013. The story about an ordinary citizen who becomes a third-party presidential candidate has gained strong reviews on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The book also has raised questions about his interest in politics, but he is quick to explain that "Grandpa Jack" is about the political process and not ideology, and his true passion will always be writing.

Hampton had two more books published in 2014: "The Snowman Uprising on Hickory Lane," a children's tale about what happens when you bully the wrong person; and "Jonah Prophet," an allegory on the Old Testament Book of Jonah set in the modern business world. In 2015 he published "When the Light Returned to Main Street," a collection of short stories with Christmas and holiday themes. A second edition with additional stories was published in 2019.

In 2017, Hampton published "Aransas Morning," a story of community and redemption set in the Gulf Coast town of Port Aransas, Texas. He followed in 2018 with a sequel, "Aransas Evening."

Coming in March 2021 is "Together: Thoughts and Stories About Living in Community," a collection of essays on the nature and meaning of "community" in all its many forms.

As a freelance writer, Hampton writes about architectural and design topics as well as trends in higher education for regional and institutional publications.

He currently lives and works in Garland, Texas, with his wife LeAnn. ...more
